Chapter 1131: Chapter 573: A Match Made in Heaven

The car stopped in front of the entrance of Four Seasons Manor.

The red lacquered wooden door slowly opened from the inside, and a row of black-clad bodyguards and a line of maids, all well-trained, filed out.

Seeing the elderly couple sitting in the wheelchair, they respectfully said in unison, "Welcome home, sir, madam, and miss."

Shen Qiunong held Shen You’an’s hand tightly and did not let go, gripping even tighter at the sound.

"An’an... is this?"

Yu Yisen looked at the huge plaque hanging above the door frame, the cursive script on it as majestic as dragons and phoenixes, accompanying the manor through countless years of change.

"This plaque was personally inscribed by Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty."

It is over a hundred and fifty years old.

Four Seasons Manor was a lavishly built royal villa constructed by the Royal Family. Emperor Wen, in order to win over Sang Kunrou, who held military power, granted it to him without batting an eye and personally inscribed the plaque to show supreme favor.

Later, when Sang Ziming married, Sang Kunrou gave Four Seasons Manor as her dowry. After Sang Ziming’s death, Mei Lvge seized it and made it her private villa.

Everyone knows what happened afterwards.

After several changes, it finally returned to its rightful owner.

Tears rolled down Yu Yisen’s murky old eyes: "When I was young, my mother used to bring me here to escape the summer heat. I still remember that there was a large lotus pond on the west side of the Bamboo Garden, its boundless green lotus leaves connected to the sky. During late summer, my mother often held me in her arms while we sat on the rocking chair in the pavilion, telling me stories."

Yu Yisen’s gaze gained a tint of reminiscence, his tone gentle as if afraid to wake from a dream.

"This summer, you can stay by the lotus pond with grandma and escape the heat."

Four Seasons Manor was returned to Shen You’an, a descendant of the Sang family, the day Sang Kunrou was acquitted. She had long hired people to renovate the manor inside and out, eradicating all traces related to Mei Lvge and the Yu family, leaving not a single mark.

The two had been imprisoned in the back mountains for over twenty years. Returning to this place was not to recall past sufferings but to experience rebirth.

In winter, staying in Plum Garden, when the snow clears after a fall, the plum blossoms bloom throughout the garden. The cold of the snow combined with the fragrance of the plum blossoms is refreshing; it’s another kind of earthly paradise.

Yu Fusheng was pushed along, his eyes fixed on the scenery without blinking, as if searching for childhood memories, his expression restrained yet excited.

Shen Qiunong’s eyes, with international top ophthalmologists consulted and complemented by the Leng family’s unique medicine, had hope to see light. For instance, at this moment, she could faintly see a hint of plum red.

The rooms in Plum Garden had underfloor heating and were fully equipped. Sitting by the window, one could admire the snowy plum trees, enjoying a unique elegance.

Entering the warm room, a quick-handed middle-aged woman approached to help them remove the blankets wrapped around them.

A middle-aged man at the forefront of the bodyguards stepped forward and carefully brushed the snow off Yu Yisen’s shoulder.

"Ah Xiang, Ah Bao, they are a couple. From now on, they will take care of grandpa and grandma’s daily needs."

"Sir, madam, Ah Bao and I will do our utmost to care for you. If there’s anything we don’t do well, please guide us."

Yu Yisen nodded: "Thank you."

"It’s our duty."

Ah Xiang led the others away, leaving space for the three of them to talk.

Shen Qiunong held Shen You’an’s hand, finally having the time to speak properly with her.

Shen You’an crouched down, and Shen Qiunong’s thin fingers gently stroked the girl’s fine skin, as if trying to imprint the contours into her mind.

Tears welled up in her dry eye sockets, ready to flood.

"An’an, my granddaughter." The emotions that had been repressed and accumulated finally burst completely, as Shen Qiunong embraced Shen You’an, hard to believe that such a frail elderly lady could possess such strength, squeezing Shen You’an to the point of almost suffocating.

The girl in her arms was Ali’s life continuation, and the only blood relative she had in this world.

So young, with incredible means, she saved us and Yisen, and avenged the blood feud. It’s been a path of hardship, heaven willing. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

She would rather die silently in the back mountains with Yisen, just wishing her beloved granddaughter would safely pass through this life.

What reputation, status, what grievances, and feuds, after twenty years of imprisonment, nothing else mattered. Only wishing for Ali’s daughter to be safe and joyful.

Yu Yisen watched this scene, tears streaming down his aging face. He actively maneuvered his wheelchair forward, enveloping his wife and granddaughter in his long arms.

His old wife had come to terms, but he had stubbornly struggled.

Reflecting on his life, he had achieved glory, only to fall deeply later. As a young man, he had been engrossed in research, disdaining power struggles.
